I have a heavy green street sign that someone ran over. I bought a brand new dewalt XR angle grinder. Do you think it can cut? I'm using a 40 grit type 1/41 Bauer metal cutting blade. Ive been cutting it for sometime. Are you suppose to put some force into cutting? I figure, you have to line up my cut and move it up and down barely touching the blade and metal. This tool is really something.

Great video and great information

Can I cut a basketball hoop post with a recip saw? What blade would I need?

Great video

One should recover the refrigerant, remove the piercing fitting and braze on an access fitting, then test for leaks, repair any leaks in the system, vacuum the system down, recharge with real gauges using saturated temperatures and not pressures,

The “welding” ……

I know this is an old video, but i agree..... stay away from this saw! I put less than 5 pieces of box tubing through mine snd it went south.

How does it compare to epoxy/CA glue in terms of its properties, adhesion, being brittle, etc.?

Heat the pipe first imo, then move to the ball valve, since they’re lead free, you need more heat which risks damaging the nylon inside, hence it’s best to heat the pipe first

Great video and great information

Great video

Why does this new generation of plumbers refuse to use snap cutters?

Great information

The biggest beef I have with this tool is it won’t fit in tight spots. For diy use, go sharkbite. For a professional, pro press is the way to go but I’m not seeing a logical way around the 2000 investment.

whoops. i forgot to purge the air from the hose . but it seems to be running fine😊

The blade inserted wrong??

I have a refrigerator with a bullet piercing valve already put in the copper line, but I don't have the adapter for the 134a quick connect end of the line that goes into the can. Can you point me in the right direction to find one? Any help is appreciated.

a "man" that buys tools should have enough common sense to make the adjustments needed before they have catastrophic failure. ANY brand can send out a unit with a lose screw, it's up to the owner operator to do a pre-use inspection to avoid the need to call a Whaaambulance.😮‍💨😩

How does it go on really hard blockages such as corroded steel pipe and mineral deposits? My hydro jet with a whip hose can struggle. Would.thjs do any better???? Thanks

Hi did you turn on refrigerator on to charge ?

Or you could just smack the coupling with two hammers is a lot quicker

Pro press will not clamp down properly on M copper tubbing. FYI.

I’ve only used this tool two times at my home, so far it’s all good.

If the force is too much, get some EMT over the handles for more leverage. “Give me a lever long enough and I can move the entire earth!”

..........untill the hammer vibrations split the antique metal pipe elsewhere. So let that be a lesson. Always use a rubber mallet.--And a rubber chisel if you can find one.

Should the refrigerator be running while adding freon?

Never seen something like that before. Nice video.

These look useful! Does the brand matter? 👀

looks good. link?

Do you think it worked after some time?

You clamped the pieces in a METAL vise, which was cooling the pieces down. Try again with the pieces clamped with wood pieces to insulate. That and better prep (using acetone to clean pieces) You’ll get better results.

It would come out very easy if you let it soak with lubricants. By banging with hammers , you do more damage to the pipe. I think very bad way doing it.

Or something like that

First step is to find out why you need to add. Second step is to add it correctly. Good job enjoy higher electricity bills then needed

Good tip but remember if you’re adding refrigerant there’s a leak in your system. Ac is a closed system and the refrigerant that was put in during manufacturing should be the refrigerant the unit dies with. This is only a temporary fix and will leak out again unless you find and fix the leak

Please make a new video with a set of correct dies.

It is awesome, Not too hard to actuate, A pain in the ass when space is tight, and requires planning when using multiple fittings in tight spaces. I’m happy I bought it for avoiding open flame permits, but as soon as it makes financial sense I’m buying a cordless press tool.

Most mini fridges use r600 or butane

And make sure that you use the right refrigerant in your refrigerator

The majority of self-contained units have the weight displayed on the data plate. Adding to approximately 10 psi is not exactly the most accurate way of charging... also, if there's a leak, it needs to be fixed. This is the old "gas and go" method. Also, piercing valves should be installed on the process tube so it can be pinched off and brazed shut afterward to avoid a leak at that shitty lil gasket in the piercing valve. Theres probably no safeties on this unit either to keep the cost down, which means if the low side ran into a vacuum due to the slow leak, then you most likely have moisture in the system. If you dont know what you're doing, you should call a professional rather than spread bullshit information on youtube 💯

Nothing will ever last! Everything will be lost in due time. 😂

Charged from the factory, why does it need more?

Solder on piercing valve is better for permanent installs.

I have one and the second the cable has any resistance it grinds or the built in clutch grinds, I haven’t been able to unclog a single drain with it because of this. Any ideas?

I’m good bro I know how to solder and I have real propress

That isn't good soldering technique.

Nice! Will have to use for my home projects!

Looks dropped and used for a hammer looking at the bottom of the spindles , I recommend East Wing for your projects .

I wouldn't even bother responding to the people mocking you for doing it this way. Clearly they have never been in a situation to need to do this and it shows. I'm a plumber, I learned to do this when I was 13 years old, I have done it dozens of times since and will need to do it dozens more in the future. I've never had to do it on small pipe like your demonstration, but its just that, a demonstration.
